E Ngaro Ana Koe? (Are You Lost?) is a full-length multimedia dance work that questions: How do we break bread with our taniwha?
This work embodies the shedding of skins, the practice of growing new niho, and the act of morphing — again and again and again. It is an archival space. It is a place to wade, yield, sigh… exist. But more than that, it is a karanga to face the raruraru that often sits deep within the puku of those who feel disconnected from their whakapapa. Will we allow our taniwha to consume and engulf us—or will we cradle her with care?
Weaving pūrākau and personal journeys, E Ngaro Ana Koe? highlights seven powerful movement artists as they find communion in confronting their individual and shared taniwha. Guiding us along their sacred awa of shared concerns, joys and dreams—inviting us to reflect, witness, and feel.
Each night is a unique experience of movement, poetry, archival film, sculpture, and connection to the virtual ether.
